It appears we have quite a few Mustang enthusiasts among our Nightly News viewers.

Last night, after Harry Smith's report about the famous muscle car's 50th anniversary, Brian Williams asked viewers to share images of their own Mustangs. We were flooded with tweets and emails.

Here's a sampling of just a few:

Mary Vandehey shares a photo of her sons in front of the '68 Mustang her father purchased for her mother in 1968. "It's a rather rare gem with a 289 V8 and the special T-bird package that they made very few of. It withstood the adventure's of both my siblings and myself over the years and then three... grandchildren," Vandehey said in an email.Mary Vandehey
